TBW Daily Diary

A brief visit from Richard Hebbard today. . . Just learned that John Zimmerman's home in the 800 block of Green will also be on the HHA Candlelight House Tour. That is four properties in our immediate area. Yes, the Bare Wall will be selling tickets when the time arrives . . . I wish Webmasters would leave well enough alone. Must sites always be "improved for your convenience?" In the past few weeks Verizon, my bank, and PennLive have all undergone make-overs which have merely added to the clutter; I have had to re-learn them all over again. . . Of course, in the case of PennLive, a little restraint on those leaving comments has long been overdue. I worry that some of these odd-ball commentators might live on my block . . . We should take a cue from our European friends. The Times of London allows just 300 characters in formulating a comment; make your point and don't ramble. Scotland's Daily Record posts one's name but rejects the comment if it is obscene, obnoxious or otherwise inappropriate. And no one complains that his "Freedom of Speech" rights have been curtailed. . .
